Im almost in the same bout with you right now man, but im not considering the G35. Its interrior looks way toooo odd. And i know what im talking about. I got that Audi, and people do make comments on good interiors. Otherwise the G35 RWD is probably not a bad car. I do like the RWD in it as well. People been talking about that car now. Especially about that AWD.

In 2007 the current G coupe will be replaced. The 07 coupe looks as amazing as the current one did when it came out. I wouldn't buy the current model except if it was a really good price.


damm,

that's a nice refresh for 07...with that said it depends on what you're looking for out of your car.

RWD vs FWD, big difference in your choices.

Two totally different cars for different purposes. TL = a 4-door near luxo car with some sporty aspects. G35c = 2-door near luxo car with a lot more sporty aspects than TL but forget about having more than 2 people inside.

The 2007 model of the G35c will be the same as 2006. The updated 2nd gen G35c is supposedly coming out as a mid-year update and branded as a 2008 model (some time in the spring ... the updated G35 sedan coming out in Nov 2006). This info I got from g35driver so take it with a grain of salt.

Sedan FWD vs. Coupe RWD...

Gotta decide if you want RWD or FWD or 2 doors of 4 doors...

Test drive 'em both, and see what one you like better...

Get the TL...it's clearly superior in every way to the G35. The G35 has a dangerous skip in the front end during normal driving.

If you need the room, then go with the TL. But if you want a sweet sports coupe w/ luxury, then I'd definitely go with the G35 coupe. If I could switch to the G35 coupe, I would.

Don't buy a G35 coupe now... the 2nd gen is coming out around the same time next year (or so they say at g35driver).

But seriously -- I don't think you could go wrong with either car (for their respective purpose). I just can't used to that orange glow dash lights and cheaper looking interior in the current gen g35c. I was *this* close to trading in my TLS when the 2003.5 G35c came out but that interior kept me happily in my Acura.

There are a few long ass threads that talk about the two cars in the 3rd gen forum if you want instant access to a lot more replies...and we arent as one sided as you might think over there.

Some Acura dealers suck, but with Acura, you often have a choice locally between different shops. Infiniti dealers are fewer in number and often have captive local markets.

Sure, you are not going to buy a car just because the dealer kisses your ass, but it might matter to you.
